@pccheese that does not look like iRobot's MO. That looked like a moderation issue. There were a lot of answers that got converted to comments etc. iRobot usually just kicks you in the gonads and leaves you 100 spam points down. Keep your eyes open and let us know if you see weird things happening, but limit yourself to truly weird things and post links......

@danj no he cannot, nor did he. He will have "Accept as Answer" on his mod menu and can (and has done so a few times) vote on it. There are no bugs. This is exactly the way it has always been, no change on that at all. It still requires 5 votes by users to accept an answer.

@annettefuller @mayer @danj I do not see that the professionalism is at stake here. What I do see are some bright people getting of topic. It is our responsibility to keep the chaos organized. Gentlemen, this is the job of the moderators. We need to ensure that answers and questions are appropriate and stay on topic. If we are so against it then why did we not moderate it? Instead we are suggesting that ifixit as an organization provides us with another place of idle chatter? I do not see that the argument about using rice as a tool is the chat, I look at that as needed to eliminate the myth about using it. It's the talk about rice as a dish that is the chit chat. Let the posters know to continue those talks on here. Why are we going to add another answer, that does not reveal any new information compared to the original answer? Gentlemen this is our doing! I have taken the liberty of removing the chit chat from that particular question.

@pccheese let's look at a few things first. So you provided 367 solutions for a total of 11,355 rep points. That translates to almost 31 points per solution. That is pretty much the same as I myself have obtained. Do you feel cheated of points or just under appreciated? Where did you think you were going with those answers? What is your expectation? Repair maybe noble but do not do it for any kind of reward. As you yourself have previously stated, we do this to help people. If any of our answers only helped a single person, than it is mission accomplished. Any additional points will only be gravy. Your answers are good, yet sometimes very lengthy and wordy. Stop knocking around the bush and make your points when providing answers. You can always use comments to elaborate later. Sometimes the OP just does not want to know more than a single "fix this part". Reward will come from your peers and from some of the more well rounded OP's. Those that have the maturity and understanding to recognize how much work goe...

Susan Tucker @kaykay @mayer @pccheese I kind of see where this could happen. @mayer, remember that we have been involved with this for a bit, so we may not see it. I like the way the homepage is setup, but it really does not explain what iFixit is all about. It does not explain that we try to answer any question about any device on an individual basis, unlike other forums. We do not thrive on the "me too" but on empowering anybody, anywhere to fix their stuff.@kaykay I think if you would move the bottom part up " Exercise Your Right to Repair" and add the mission statement to it, that would do it. Keep it simple and clean.

@lpfaff1 I assume you are referring to my mods on this question https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/1330... Just in short what I based the moderation decision on: #1 Answer POSTED: 07/30/2014 by "Adam" irrelevant comment since it had nothing to do with the original question which was "Why won't my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 turn on?" not if Samsung was a good or bad company and/or provided quality equipment. and this one https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/2674... #2 Answer POSTED: MARCH 27 by electronicsurplus "I also tried reflowing the Main processor and the small ic but, still nothing" directly posted below another question posted as an answer by same user. Added 2nd answer to first answer(question) as comment. Deleted answer (question) totally since a conversion after 3 month from this to a question, without additional follow up from the OP, would lead to another "dead" question with no definite answer from the OP as well as this one https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/2674... #3 same reason deleted answer...

@sam looks good and I like that option. Thanks for doing that and I know it comes in handy. Test drove it already...;-)

@mike I do wish you the best of luck with your next adventure, whatever it may be. I am certain that with your knowledge and experience you are going to be successful. I know it is tough to move around with family but in the long run it usually works out. Holler if you need anything, bit of 100 miles from me to Austin is no issue . You know where to find us.....

@pccheese you see here is a prime example of your confusion:-) On this question you marked this answer (I know it is not an answer but a question by itself) as "SWITCH TO A COMMENT". Help me to understand why. You mentioned that you "can't get you guys to see my point." So here is your opportunity to get us to that point. Would you not think that it may be better to mark it as "SWITCH TO A QUESTION", since it is only a few hours old? If it would have been a couple weeks or months old, I would even suggest to "REMOVE AS NOT AN ANSWER", but never as a comment.

@soros so far the mods have not had much luck with accepting guides or edits on guides. This appears to be still managed through the ifixit staff. I also noticed that over the last few years/month guides were/are not as rapidly accepted as they once were. It appears that this part of ifixit has taken a bit of a backseat... Last conversation I had with iFixit on that is here ifixit staff still checks the repair guides? and @sam can probably assist with that.
